After months of anticipation, Pennsylvania will finally be opening the state’s first medical marijuana facilities. Gov. Tom Wolfe announced Tuesday that Pennsylvania will start medical marijuana sales this week, and the plant will be available for purchase starting on Thursday, February 15th.

“Pennsylvanians have been waiting years for this moment,” Wolf said in a statement. “Medical marijuana is legal, safe and now available to Pennsylvanians suffering from 17 serious medical conditions.

In less than two years, we have developed a regulatory infrastructure, approved physicians as practitioners, certified patients to participate and launched a new industry to help thousands find relief from their debilitating symptoms.”

Since the initial announcement, more than 17,000 patients have been registered for the medical marijuana program, with close to 4,000 receiving approval. In addition, 10 dispensaries and 10 growers have been approved to open up shop.

While patients cannot buy seeds or consume traditional flower or even edibles, due to Pennsylvania state laws, customers will be allowed to choose from a variety of alternative consumption methods such as vaporizers, oil cartridges, tinctures and lotions.

Cresco Yeltrah, the first facility approved by state officials, will be making its debut on Thursday. Fellow dispensaries, Keystone Canna Remedies, Solevo and Organic Remedies will begin selling medication on February 16th, and Terra Vida Holistic Center and Keystone Shop will be opening their doors on the 17th.

Qualifying customers are being asked to contact the dispensaries beforehand to determine if an appointment is necessary before purchasing any products.

Final Hit: Pennsylvania Will Start Medical Marijuana Sales This Week

While February 15th marks the first official day of medical marijuana sales, technically speaking, one dispensary has been open for business.

Keystone Canna Remedies in Bethlehem, PA, opened up shop back in January, but strictly for patient consultations and educational workshops. It will finally begin selling products on the 16th.
